Re: I...

Of course the AOL bashers have to come out in full force every time AOL comes up as a topic here. But be that as it may, all they did was hold a temporary price reduction promotion. Lots of businesses do that all the time. It's just a business practice. They hoped that some people would try it when they saw the price go down, then they hoped that when they raised the price again some of those people would have liked AOL so much that they would decide to stay after the increase.

It's just like when your supermarket has a special on something and temporarily reduces the price on it.

Only time will tell whether or not this turns out to be a smart business strategy. I doubt it myself, but if they want to try it that's fine with me.

Business can call it a "practice" I call it "stealing" and just plain sneaky. But that's how most businesses operate in America today. Sneaky, tricky, lying advertising. In my opinion, most businesses today cannot survive unless they CHEAT their customers one way or another.
